[Pride and Prejudice] Sky Bookstore

At about ten o'clock in the morning, Skye had the honor to meet Mr. Collins who came to visit him.There was nothing wrong with the pastor's attire.His first words after entering the door were: "Oh! It's such a pleasure to meet you!"

Neither Mr. Collins' outstretched arms nor his exaggerated expression posed serious problems.Interesting is his second sentence.When Collins carefully counted the number of ladies sitting on the sofa

--one.two.Three... five... six? !

This really confused him.

When he was confused, the pastor did ask: "Excuse me, I really want to know, don't you only have five daughters?"

Collins had never met any of the Bennets before, so he did not know which one was not Miss Bennet.

Several Miss Bennet sitting on the sofa heard his words and looked at each other with narrow smiles.

Mr. Bennet obviously wanted to laugh too. His mocking smile had already shown traces, but he still tried his best to put on a serious look. He coughed dryly with one hand clenched around his mouth, and then explained: "This is Skye. Miss Holt. Our guest."

Skye smiled at Mr. Collins.She really couldn't imagine what kind of quality supported this gentleman's life.

In the ensuing conversation and meal, Skye was able to gain insight that what supports Mr. Collins is entirely his love for the female patron lady Catherine.

Skye had never seen a man compliment another like that behind his back.

If Mr. Bennet hadn't sent Collins to take his daughters to Meryton, Skye really didn't know if he could bear it until Wickham came.

Before going out, Darcy hurriedly found the anonymous letter and the thousand paper cranes that Skye left before.

It took seven years for the paper that was folded into paper to turn yellow and soften.After Darcy unpacked the paper crane for the first time, he quickly folded it back to Yuanyang.Since then, this piece of paper has always maintained the mentality of a paper crane, becoming something similar to nostalgia.

Darcy had hesitated whether to burn the paper, or to shelve it.After all, it's too weird for a man to carry another man's letter.

Fortunately, now he knew it was a letter from a woman.

Darcy spread out the deeply creased thousand paper cranes, together with the anonymous letter that he didn't care about at first—it could even be more accurate to say that it was an anonymous note.

What was written on the note was very brief, with only three simple sentences——

Yesterday afternoon, Miss Darcy and Mr. Wickham watched a play at the Roman Theater.The two have a close relationship.Hope to know.

Darcy compared the two handwritings carefully.

Two very different papers, Skye's handwriting is unique and sharp.The anonymous letters were printed in copperplate.

Just when Darcy was a little disappointed, he suddenly saw a strange similarity. When Skye wrote, he used to put two dots at the end of the text as punctuation marks at the end.Darcy also saw such a special mark at the end of the anonymous letter.

But Darcy is not sure whether this is his subjectively imposed will.After all, this may have been done hastily.

"The horses are all ready... what are you looking at?" Bingley came to call Darcy.When he walked to the door of Darcy's room, he saw Darcy holding two papers, as if he had encountered some difficulty.

"Come and help me find out, are the two dots at the end of these two letters the same kind of mark?"

Bingley took the paper from Darcy's hand.He carefully read it several times, but shook his head firmly and said, "I don't think there are any useful clues from the two ink marks. And in terms of the font, there is obviously no similarity between the two. "

When Darcy handed the letter to Bentley, he covered most of it.

So after watching the ending, Bingley couldn't help feeling worried about Darcy's cover-up: "Aren't you in some trouble?"

- yes and no.

When asked about something that made Darcy feel cramped, Darcy suddenly wanted to use the same sentence pattern as Skye to answer the question.

The officers of Meryton became the biggest scenery here.Along the way are young officers in conspicuously dressed clothes.The Miss Bennets had been invited by their aunt, and Skye and Mr. Collins had come together purely as foils.

Skye looked at the red uniforms standing on both sides of the road.

The bright red uniform with golden edges, coupled with the young man's straight figure, looks pleasing to the eye and extremely handsome.It became the perfect validation of Prince Charming in the novel and drama.

There seemed to be a hormonal smell in the air, or the sour smell of love after having had mutual affection with the ladies.

Most of Skye's daily life is among a bunch of pious gentlemen. They all try their best to earn other people's wealth, are dominated by interests, and are full of fat.To be honest, the gentlemen in the city of London, not only have their consciences betrayed them, their bodies have run away from home, and their hairlines have faded... If Skye speaks harsh words, there are really countless words to choke people can't speak.

Fortunately, she has not done so for a long time.

The young officers here are not the same thing.They talked interestingly, just what young girls like to hear these days.If you let a pair of people of the same age walk together, and they have the conditions to develop a good impression of each other, it is very likely that they will fall in love.

Skye got out of the carriage.Walking along the road for a while, I happened to see an officer who I thought was called Danny.

There is another person beside Danny, and this person with him is very familiar to Skye - he is Wickham.

Danny introduced Wickham to the ladies.Wickham was an officer in the regiment in the blink of an eye.This speed is probably comparable to the speed at which the bruises on his face faded away.He didn't wear a military uniform today, but because he was in good condition, even standing next to Danny was enough to attract the attention of the ladies.

After Skye saw Wickham, he showed his first smile today.She seemed to have seen something very interesting, so she looked at Wickham with meaningful eyes.

Wickham's heart sank when he saw Skye.He really didn't want to believe that he was meeting Skye again.

But nothing good happens to anyone who sees Skye.This has been the case since the date with Georgiana, Wickham's face changed suddenly, looking at Skye as if he saw something unclean.

Skye wanted to have a few words with Wickham.For example, mocking the fight between Wickham and Darcy in a subtle way.

God knows!A fight between these two can make her laugh for years.

But at this time, Darcy and Bingley were seen riding on horseback.

Skye had to swallow the words as he saw Darcy dismount beside her.

"It's such a coincidence to see you here." Bingley greeted all the ladies happily.

Darcy was not in such a good mood anymore, his eyes turned between Skye and Wickham, and his brows were furrowed.

Before Darcy appeared, Wickham, who only faced Skye, was only pale.But now it is the combination of Skye and Darcy, which makes Wickham feel a little bit defeated.

Elizabeth looked at the situation in front of her in bewilderment.She saw a very reluctant exchange of courtesy between Darcy and Wickham, and both men were as stiff as puppets on a string.And Mr. Bingley, who was standing beside Darcy, became obviously indifferent after hearing Wickham's name.

"Did you know each other before?" Elizabeth asked suspiciously.

"We do know each other." Wickham let out a breath, and took the lead in showing a weak smile to Elizabeth.

When this smile appeared on his handsome but pale face, it was particularly sympathetic.Just an expression can make people preconceived that he is the victim.

Mr. Darcy, who was a step behind, snorted coldly.He didn't take Wickham's performance seriously, but he was unwilling to tell the Miss Bennet about the things between them in detail.

Skye was troubled by Darcy's reaction.

She will leave one day.If Darcy can't get together with Elizabeth before she finishes everything, it can only be Darcy's own loss.

Like is an ideal, but leaving is the ultimate reality.

It never occurred to Skye to entrust himself to a contemporary man.She has seen the afterlife, which is a city made of steel and concrete, and she knows that women will be able to work and live well with their income hundreds of years later.It's not like her, who has to be an imposter even to inherit property, or like Miss Bennet, who has no right to inherit her father's estate.

After seeing a better world, how could one be willing to live in such a world?

Skye was always looking for a balance.But this balance point cannot be Darcy.The hostess that Pendrie needs can be innocent and kind, but she can't always be unwilling.

Skye pulled Elizabeth's sleeve and explained softly in her ear: "Mr. Wickham once pursued Mr. Darcy's sister."... Failed.

Even if Skye knows that Darcy and Elizabeth are a couple, she can't say too much in detail.After all, she shouldn't know these things.

Elizabeth froze for a moment.She frowned, looked suspiciously at Darcy's well-groomed hunting suit, and then at Wickham who looked sad and disappointed.Failed to pursue Darcy's younger sister... It shouldn't be such an expression.

Wickham looked as if he had failed in his pursuit of Darcy!

What's more, what does this matter have to do with Mr. Bingley?How could Mr. Bingley, who thought that even a bad guy had a good side, be wary of Wickham?

'is that so? 'Elizabeth asked Skye with her eyes.But although she still has some doubts, the seeds of doubt have already been planted.In the future, it will be almost impossible for such a smart girl as Elizabeth to completely believe Wickham's words.

Seeing her performance, Skye smiled even more happily.She briskly added to Wickham, and added to Elizabeth: "This Mr. Wickham is a famous figure in London. He is known as dramaham1."

This title was first called out by Skye.But as Wickham cheated in the early years, Skye picked up the names one after another, his dramaham reputation really gradually became louder.

"Why did he call him that?"

"Probably because he likes to take different girls to the theater." Skye smiled happily at Wickham after saying this.
